I ...Helene, the arms are always a big issue for me. I have square shoulders, so that entire area is always altered on my garments. I tend to raise the armscye in two places, the actual seam line beneath the armpit, but also, I add extra to the front garment by adding more to the bust at the side of the arm, as seen in the picture. I think that's the trick to a good arm fit, especially adding that extra material to the back as well. I often over compensate there.Shelleyjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05223944949880318245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3370970170301288861.post-8594518459742468512013-11-13T08:37:03.771-08:002013-11-13T08:37:03.771-08:00Hey girl, you look so cute in your blue headwrap. ...Hey girl, you look so cute in your blue headwrap. Have you lost weight since you used that pattern? I think you look smaller than when I first "met" you. I enjoy you and your blog. Love your drawings too. You are one talented woman.Connie Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13526657792519056005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3370970170301288861.post-53406586113037647382013-11-13T06:52:45.982-08:002013-11-13T06:52:45.982-08:00This is going to be great - my biggest problem wit...This is going to be great - my biggest problem with doing this sort of thing is that the armscye is always too low (because I'm short and have a big bust). I haven't come up with a consistent method that works in terms of fixing that. Do you have that issue to deal with? How do you fix it so that you can raise your arms?Helenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17513135368838219016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3370970170301288861.post-43190303380069473762013-11-13T06:13:30.802-08:002013-11-13T06:13:30.802-08:00Good work.

I can tell already that it's going to be a great jacket. Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11688809657787883372noreply@blogger.com
